Bengali Actress Idhika Paul Talks About Her Durga Puja Planning After Khadaan Success

Bengali Actress Idhika Paul grew up in South Kolkata. Her father used to take her to the mandap in her childhood. Only then would she be allowed to go out with friends and receive a stipend.

Today, the time has changed. Now she bears the colorful memories in mind.

Now Crowd Means Love To Idhika

She says, “Earlier, I would step back when I saw a crowd, but now I stand there. This love makes artists forget all their troubles.” Idhika says that now she enjoys crowds. She loves it when someone recognizes her, takes her picture, or asks for an autograph. She reminds us that artists shoot despite storms, rain, and illness. But the audience’s reaction drives them on.

Idhika Did Not Get That Opportunity To Fell In Love During Puja

Idhika says that like many people who fall in love during puja, she did not get that opportunity. Her mother would stand between her and her love. In this context, Idhika says, “I tried once or twice, but I got caught. That’s why the love of puja didn’t happen.” But times have changed. She says, “Within a few years, maybe my mother herself will say, ‘You can have a partner now!’”

Idhika’s Puja Is Full Of The Joy Of Eating Favorite Foods

Idhika says, she has to wear makeup all year round. But she doesn’t dress up for a few days during puja. Instead, she gives time to her family and eats Favorite foods. She says, “I love to eat. However, in our profession, we must control our tongue. So, one day during puja, we take everyone to a good restaurant.”

Puja Is The Very Time To Look Back At Yourself

Idhika feels that this puja is very important in her life. She says, “This puja will show me where I stand. From there, I will decide my next steps.” She admits that the love of the audience is what drives an artist forward. She wants to have that love as a source of strength to move forward in future.
